Wean her in 71 days James. Then get her bred to a lowline angus bull.
Seriously though, she's a nice calf so far. You want to see a dandy calf? Get your hands on a quality Simm bull, cross them up and let hybrid vigor show you what its capable of.

I haven't seen the hybrid vigor people praise so much, neither have I see the inbreeding depression they abhor.. Good cows make good calves.

I’m gonna have to wean one off at 205 that is over 1200 to prove a point. LOL!
